In this sentence, "more" is a noun, the direct object of the verb "know."
2 is the only correct sentence.
==================================
5. Look at this picture of John.
6. Look at this picture of John's.
(Are both OK? Sentence 1 means "John is in the picture. Am I right?)
2. Look at this map of Dokdo.
(This one means that Dokdo is on this map? Am I right?)

"Look at this picture of John." and "Look at this picture of John's." are both correctly written sentence. The first implies that the picture has John on it. It was a picture taken of him. The second sentence implies possession. The picture belongs to John.
The sentence, "Look at this map of Dokdo." does mean that Dokdo is on the map, yes. The map shows an overview of the island of Dokdo.

Thank you. Dokdo is an island.
So....
2. Look at this map of Dokdo.
3. Look at this map of Dokdo's.
#2 is correct? What about #3? Dokdo is an island not animal, so isn't this expression wrong?
